We had seen no video of the club where we\u2019d first smoked clove cigarettes and kissed a boy wearing makeup bulldozed. One day it was just no longer there. We had seen no video or photos of our high school being bulldozed. When we heard that our elementary school was scheduled for the wrecking ball we walked down and took photos of the mural of a deer in a snowy landscape we\u2019d won a contest to get to paint on the elementary school wall. Shortly after, the deer was bulldozed. We had seen no photos of the caf\u00e9 where we had first drunk a mocha bulldozed. One day it was just no longer there. We had been astonished to find a real caf\u00e9, with real intellectuals in it playing chess, real Persian cats draped on sills, real mochas and cappuccinos and disheveled newspapers on poles and foxed wallpaper in our own provincial city. By the time the caf\u00e9 was bulldozed ten years later, we weren\u2019t astonished. We had not seen any photos or videos of it bulldozed; one day it was just no longer there. In that bulldozed caf\u00e9 and other bulldozed caf\u00e9s around the city we\u2019d always ordered mochas, which bridged our childish love of sweets with our lust for adult narcotics. We had not seen many photos or videos of the sites across which our youth had played out bulldozed, but one by one they must all have been, for one day they were just no longer there. Sometimes we felt sheepish for noticing that the sites of our youth had all been bulldozed to make room for the bulging of prosperity, though the question of who was really prospering did not stand long before it was bulldozed. Any attempt to turn around and glance one last time at the past resulted in that past being instantly bulldozed. For the bulls never doze in the ruins of nostalgia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We watched a video on the internet of the arena we\u2019d seen our first concert in being bulldozed.
